Public bug reported:
When I try to input a german umlaut like "ü" in a gnome-shell password
prompt using the onscreen keyboard, nothing appears in the input field.
In regular applications like gedit umlauts work however, so it seems to
be specific to password prompts.
Couldn't find anything interesting the the journalctl log, only messages
related to gnome-shell at the time of trying to input the umlaut are:
